A positive baseball post.

Pitching has been very good this week. Only gave up 13 runs in 4 games. Maybe this staff is starting to turn the corner.

Holland was great this weekend. If he can continue hitting, it would help a lot

Like I said two weeks ago, everyone was making too big of a deal out of their struggles because they were giving up runs in bunches.

The offense though has deep, deep issues.

I really hope so but I just don't see it happening this year. Every other year you could see it coming, see that we are right on the edge of putting it all together. I don't see it this year and we don't have any guys with 'IT'. No Pirtle, Holder, Lingo, Girodo, etc. You knew 9/10 times those guys would deliver. We don't have anyone we can depend on on O or the field.

Should come with a warning label*

Positive baseball post that is.

Oh, I don't think it's going to happen as far as making a regional. RPI is at #122 and we're more than halfway through the season. Boyd hasn't come out with his RPI needs report yet, but I'm sure if he did ours would be ridiculous. I think now the goal is to get the pitching down to where it's pretty good and the offense to where it doesn't completely suck and build for next year. 13-12 the rest of the way is doable if we start playing better.

Rea was also clutch but I'm sure we'll all forget about that by Wednesday.

There were plenty of positives from this weekend. First of all, our pitching was outstanding. John Holland is stepping up. We now know Matt Spruill has not business on the field. We now know Ryan Gridley is our shortstop for the next 2.5 years at minimum. Wes Rea is hitting the ball hard, just not dropping. Gavin Collins is getting his groove back as well, and Reid Humphreys, while terrible Friday, is looking better overall.
